 Coaxial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geometry, coaxial means that two or more forms share a common axis ; it is the three- dimensional analog of " concentric ".
Coaxial cable, for example, has a conducting wire in the center and a second conducting layer running all the way around the exterior circumference, under the insulation.
In discussions of armored fighting vehicles, it denotes a machine gun or similar weapon mounted in a fixed orientation in the turret, immediately adjacent to and parallel with another weapon, typically the main gun of a tank, so that the machine gun is aimed by rotating the turret and elevating or depressing the main gun.

 Patent 4314879: Production of field-reversed mirror plasma with a coaxial plasma gun   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The use of a coaxial plasma gun to produce a plasma ring which is directed into a magnetic field so as to form a field-reversed plasma confined in a magnetic mirror.
Operation of the coaxial plasma gun 33, or accelerator, involves applying a high voltage from a capacitor bank 35 across the inner 37 and outer 39 coaxial-cylindrical electrodes of the plasma gun 33.
This azimuthal current is independent of the gun's condenser current and is increased by the increase in magnetic flux as the FRR moves through the poloidal field of the coaxial plasma gun.

 POWERLABS's Gauss Gun Division!
Gauss Guns, also known as Coil Guns, derive their name from the Mathematician Gauss, who's name is a measure of magnetic field strength (and since the propellant force in a gauss gun is a magnetic field, it makes sense to call them by the unit of that field).
On higher power coil guns, the use of high voltage makes it possible for the impulse to be switched by the means of a spark gap; triggered gaps (trigatrons) are most often the choice as they allow precise control over when the discharge happens.
Here is where all the components of the gun come together and must match perfectly: The solenoid must provide the greatest amount of magnetic field coupling possible with the projectile, as this determines the pulling force and thus the acceleration.

A new planar coaxial gun has been constructed in order to study the process of helicity injection during spheromak formation.
The design of the new gun, which was motivated by insights gained from ongoing solar prominence experiments [ Bellan and Hansen, Phys.\ Plasmas~\textbf5, 1991 (1998) ], involves large planar electrodes with a low field solenoid, in contrast to smaller cylindrical guns with high field solenoids commonly in existence.

 Modern Firearms - FN MAG / M240 machinegun
The basic design of the MAG is no more than a time-proven Browning action, taken from the M1918 BAR automatic rifle, turned upside down and adopted for belt feed.
The rate of fire can be selected between "low" (~650 rpm) and "high" (~950 rpm), depending on the tactical situation, and the gun can be fired in full auto only.
Standard guns are fitted with the pistol grip and trigger, and the wooden (early models) or plastic (present manufacture) butt, coaxial guns (like M240C) have the trigger replaced by the electric solenoid, and the pintle-mounted versions, like the M240D, have the spade grips instead of the pistol grip and the butt.
